Set Over Set Sends Eldridge into the Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
David Eldridge opened to 1,800,000 on the button and Brian Rast defended his big blind.
Rast checked to Eldridge, who continued for 2,200,000 on the 3?10?J? flop. Rast then check-raised to 10,800,000, which was met with a shove for 19,700,000 from Eldridge. Rast called to put Eldridge at risk and a showdown was held.
David Eldridge: K?J?J?6?
Brian Rast: 10?4?3?3?
Eldridge found himself in commanding shape with top set against Rast's bottom set, and the 7?5? runout kept Eldridge best for the double up to take the chip lead.
